Vertical Cell Imaging by Nanostructured Immobilisation

This work was commissioned by the Holden lab, they use devices with microholes that stand bacteria up straight, rather than having them lie down flat. This means that some nanostructures can be seen in a different orientation. The division ring, for example, can be seen as a circle, rather than a line. These features are shown in the image on the left, designed as a journal cover. On the right is a cartoon that shows the function of the microholes.
